In a rush? Head down to the comments and share a domain name you own without a purpose, I (and hopefully some others) will give you a fun side proj...

Oh man, I own a lot of domains without a reason. One of them is dail.one. I've thought about building a suite of web applications like notes, calendar, e-mail client etc. which then would all be placed beneath this domain but it turned out, I dont have this much time on my hand so I stopped 😅
I also have multiple Liferay domains (liferay.space, liferay.tech, liferay.blog, liferay.us, liferay.at, liferay.ch). I work in a company which uses Liferay to create digital workplaces for companies and I thought it would be funny to buy some domains and do something cool, but I really don't know what I should do with them 😂 Any idea is appreciated :)
OK so these are some tough ones, I doubt I will come up with a sensible one but let's see!
dail.one
liferay
I have to admit, I struggled as they are both super specific lol, I will see if I come up with a better idea as I am not happy with these yet!
I love the sunflower idea from the positive tweets 🌻
I can be wholesome sometimes 😜🤣
Wholesome as fuck!!
Hi!
Recently i've bought leblogdesgensquivontauboutdesblagu... as a joke, but, in fact I dunno what to do with
(In same spirit I've bought lescuilleressontenrealitedespelles... than can be translated by Spoonsareactuallyshovels.fr.. don't ask me why.. dunno..)
(In english we can translate by Blogofpeoplewhogoafterjokes.fr, it's a very litteral translation, I hope you've understood the meaning)
Any idea?
As I think some of the meaning is lost in literal translation I am guessing this is about people who completely miss a joke and take it literally?
If not let me know what it should be and I will then come up with silly and sensible ideas!
In fact you right, but the meaning was most, I’ll do my best for that joke « exist », to be more funny..
For example, I’ve created a website about spoons and showel because someone gave me the idea, but doesn’t think I’ll buy a domain and create a website.
In fact, the meaning of my domain was « A blog for all who do his best to make real a fictional funny idea »
So, if you have any idea, I'll take it!
The only random domain I have at the moment is littlest.website. I have a host called "the" so I could have the.littlest.website which is kind of a riff on The Littlest Hobo but that's as far as I got.
I was intending on getting something adjacent, like the.littlest.network and hosting a Mastodon instance but most of the good names like that are gone.
I have tons of domains I do not use, some I shouldn't use to be honest.
catgirl.design
femboy.us
racist.live
catboys.shop
femboy.creditcard
femboy.codes
zenithcoin.net
femboy.fit
owo.rocks
cock.trade (was my screenshot site and probably will make it my screenshot site again)
I've bought all of these as jokes and have never used them for anything. maybe I can do something fun with them
Well as most of these are NSFW I think I will have to be creative here and fly close to the line a bit!
Unfortunately I think any other ideas would not be suitable for DEV! 🤣 With that being said I imagine you could build a nice interconnected community with some of these domains.
thank you! do really like the femboy.us, catgirl.design and racist.live ideas, maybe when I eventually have the bandwidth, time, and money to host them I will try some out!
femboy.us should just be a forum for Astolfo cosplayers, rofl. 🤣
catgirl design is suitable for NFT project.
I bought this one originally as a joke:
throwouterror.com. (instead of throw new error). However, it sounds a bit weird when you put it together as TOE 😂 i had originally owned toes.tech but it expired and it would have cost $40 to renew.
I also own malware.design. I don't want to make something illegal obviously - but maybe a learning site for cybersecurity would be neat?
I have many more weird domains but these were the ones that stood out to me.
Throwouterror.com
Malware.design
malware.design could just be a page where you go "poof, designed a malware just for you <3" or something, as a joke site
So give me some ideas for:
as they are two sites sitting idle at the moment. They can be super silly too if you want!
Oh and if anyone can actually come up with a good idea for how to use my 👩💻👨💻.to domain (good luck!) for something then let me know!
I hope we get some fun domains and some silly ideas for side projects in the comments!
codersplayground.co.uk
db20.org.uk
codersplayground.co.uk
db20.org.uk
I own 3 proper domains & a couple of free domains.
Out of those 3 domains, 2 domains are in use. (1 for my personal website , & 1 for few other things like a cryptic hunt & a trivia quiz).
I have 1 more domain dilutewater.xyz
(DiluteWater is my pseodoname that I use for online accounts.
Right I will focus on dilutewater.xyz then!
Yeah, I went silly with all of them (except the two lutes idea, could be the next 2 Cellos! 🤣
Nice Idea 🤣.
I will try to make when I get time
denksaft.de
It’s German for “thought juice” which relates to coffee. I thought about starting a German developer podcast but never did it because i found a very good one existing already 😅
This one question a day is actually a brilliant concept, I like it a lot! Just need some thought provoking questions 😅 but that could also be voted on…
I am glad at least a couple of my ideas have been decent, most have been silly!
I liked that idea too, I should stop giving away all my best ideas 🤣
Lol, I wouldn’t be mad when you would register thoughtjuice.com and make an English version yourself. ☺️
🤣
Someone was quicker!
I mean the letstalk.dev (and spanish version) is an awesome domain name for streaming so I think you have a good purpose already (although a podcast would be great too obviously).
But that isn't the game so:
Those are my initial ideas! 🤣
Wow! Such a great post!!! i own many stupid domains ... i give you this two!
doulove.me, always thought about making some crush app around facebook friends ...
networkingcrew.com ... maybe i was drunk when i bought this :D
Im very impressed by your creativity :D thank you so much!
I gotta domain that I'm not using, I bought it as a joke but would really like ideas for what to do with it. The domain is YoureTheOneTripping.org it's currently just redirecting to NA resources because that was the most relevant use i could think of at this time, but any advice is welcome
YoureTheOneTripping.org
Merboe.com 😅
Yet another one where me being an ignorant Brit is hurting my ability to offer ideas, does this have a translation or is it just a random word?
Its a random word.
In that case then:
As mer means part (as in polymer - many parts) and BOE is short for "Based On Experience" I propose you create a lab that creates cutting edge polymers for the future of 3D printing, industry etc. You only employ people who have 20 years + experience in formulating new polymers 🤣
It sounds pretty good. Hahaha 😅, Thanks.
How about these?
siteaboutnothing.com - bought back in 2000 when I wanted a domain name just because everyone else had one. I was inspired by Seinfeld's "show about nothing" idea.
compufer.com - really similar to "computer", right??? 😂
I love these ideas! Thank you 😊
I just bought moon.codes a few days ago.
Any suggestions?
Ohhhh, love that one.
I've scooped up so many
.codes
.My main site is in fact odd.codes. It's just a hub for all my outside stuff right now, but I'm overhauling it big time and will upload the revamped version all at once.
I don't know if you've heard of moonscript, but it's a neat branch on Lua. Don't know how they didn't grab that one!
Ok here we go!
Thanks for these excellent suggestions!
I'll get in touch with the community and check if this domain can be usefull to them first
I love this idea! I may run such a website, but let it available any time and just release updates at each full moon. I'll keep you updated (on a full moon of course) if this idea comes to reality.
Thanks!
A tough one that one!
Oh, that is awesome!
I have only one: little-badgers.com.
Originally I wanted to create a dev learning platform for children, but there are already so many out there and I didn't even have time to find a creative concept.
So I am very happy for any suggestions :)
Oh, these are all awesome ideas, thank you! I especially love the second idea :)
compraunavez.com
vendemelo.uy
Do you want to give me the translations for them as I am an ignorant Brit and everyone knows we are useless at languages other than English! 😜
Compraunavez.com => Buy It Once / Buy Once
Vendemelo.uy => Sell It To Me / Sell Me That
Actually very good ideas!!! Thanks!!!
You sound surprised? Are you saying that the other ideas I gave other people weren't good 😉🤣. Kidding, glad you enjoyed them!
A while ago I bought adambakesbread.com and just made it redirect to my baking Instagram. I'm sure there's some better uses for it though
That is really interesting (just spent a couple of minutes salivating over your baking!)
So my ideas:-
I might have some better ones in me so let me have a think!
The dam thing was hilarious!
I can think of a couple batter uses for it 😂
Haha, comment of the week! Have ten internet points from me! 🤣
Let's see if you can find some good ideas as I have been scratching my head for the past couple of months
thedavidones.live - Used to be my blog till I coded my own blog as part of my personal website. Don't have a use for it right now.
wavlink.ro - An old company idea which has been discontinued.
galaxygamers.ro - When I was younger, I used to run a Minecraft server with this domain, now it has no use.
All of these currently point to a 404 on my server. Any ideas?
Sorry but I think my brain broke on these ones, I didn't have anything clever!
Hi, this is awesome 👌. Love every bit of this post. I also have several country specific domains which include code.ng, class.ng, class.africa, plus.ng, girls.ng and who.ng
Class.africa was meant to be platform where students uploads their test and exams past questions to get experts answer then and earn a point when other students rate the past question uploaded when they find it useful. But I have been very lazy with it. Would love to work with someone that can help bring this to life.
The problem here is that most of these seem like very wholesome domains.
But I suppose I can ruin some of them for you! 🤣:
@inhuofficial
binarymonkey.io
That is one of those names that makes you just go - yes, weird but wonderful name!
People can sponsor a monkey in a wildlife sanctuary, you get a NFT with their picture on it and you can only pay in Etherium or Bitcoin.
❤️ Love it!
purchased the domain based some years ago when I woke from a coding dream that I had that it was an awesome domain :-D
I may move my Skippy The Magnificent bot from my main site (doctorew.com) to binarymonkey :-D
(he's an elder AI from the Expeditionary Force books series who calls humans "filthy monkeys")
Yeah I liked that one with the sanctuary when it came to me!
I just asked Skippy The Magnificent (fun project BTW) if they minded being turned into a monkey:
Was the response...so I think you might need to persuade it first! 🤣🤣
Dude -- check out Expeditionary Force on Audible. The guy they got to narrate is so phenomenal. Like I cannot not hear R.C. Bray's voice for Skippy in that quote 😂
I have whale-farming.com which achieves nothing right now but was intended as an opportunistic way of promoting the environmental benefits of whales.
Interesting
I am not doing very well with this one either it seems!
I like the ship re-purposing :-)
Maybe this is the answer, getting paid to generate ecologically valuable whale poo?
evilcommercials.com a failed video production company idea
pickafightwithawarlock.com from the rantings of Charlie Sheen
gremlinworx.com because it sounded cool
bblauncher.com was a blackberry app web site I used to operate
freakenstein.com my first domain, used to do web site development under that name
pxl.monster
devdo.me
gamefight.me
I own about 100, but these are the challengers.
Well, looks like I've got my work cut out for me.
I think I'll tackle these (or a variation on them) in a series of posts right here on dev.to!
As for what I had planned:
pxl.monster - A site similar to the SCP wiki where users create an entry in the database using a built in sprite editor, write up an entry and boom. Pixel horror.
devdo.me - I read this as "Dev Dome", and it would be a place for me to write my bloggings about programming.
gamefight.me - This was going to be a big one where I troll the big game databases, and when a visitor comes to the site they are presented with a "VS" screen.
Our ideas aren't incompatible. Especially devdo.me. If you wanna help make any, get in touch!
Hi !
I've "kept.com", any idea? Can't remember why i bought it 😂
Wow that is an awesome domain name!
Surprisingly I thought I would have more ideas for a domain like that but they are all playing on the same themes and variations of the above.
Thank ! Nice ideas, I’ll try to do my best to create the last one
I have copestogether.online
So this is a site where you share things that are troubling you. People then offer advice, support and general virtual hugs and love to help you solve your problem and you grow a community of friends to help you through tough times.
The service will expand to include paid professionals (psychologists) who monitor public conversations for warning signs that someone needs further (immediate) help and they jump in and support people who need it.
Each day you track your mood and write a little post (that can be public or private) that is prompted by certain questions designed to help you focus on positives.
The whole thing is paid for as a charity through corporate donations, the donors get a certificate explaining how many people their donation has helped. Or it is paid for as part of therapy services as a tool they use to replace diaries they normally ask people to fill out.
Sorry - I wasn't going to do a silly one for this one, I think this one needs to happen!
That's very inspiring idea.
never thought about track mood and write little post.
right now i am learn web development, and maybe try make that happen in the future.
Thanks for the Idea🍀
Www.theimpose.com
Amazing idea, I will surely work on it
Am I the only person who owns only one domain? siddu.tech
Then I think you should:
👍😜
2/3 there! 😜😜
I am in an opposite state got a few projects (ok 2) and a few ideas but just 1 domain, and that is reserved for my WIP portfolio site 🤣
That is what sub domains are for! Free way to get a space quickly when you don't have a domain name spare!
Yep, that is true
Ok, I have a few:
flipabot.com
dryicenow.co
dryicenow.net
naturalbot.org
Priceless!
Dryicenow is/was supposed to be the dry ice delivery service, never took off as I never finished connecting the delivery driver with the dry ice production facility. The issue was that you can't by dry ice on demand but have to pre-buy ahead of time, so any unsold/un-delivered dry ice becomes waste
Love the fast disintegrating wipes! good idea!
Flipabot - this might actually be the one ;)
As you can probably see, I have had a load of fun with this and people have some really interesting domain names.
The dry ice delivery service sounds interesting if it can scale to the right size - would have been profitable in the pandemic as Pfizer jab needs to be stored in dry ice, I am sure there are loads more medical uses!
singleorigincopy.com
These are great ideas! Thank you.
Hi there, I have b612.dev. B 612 is the planet where the little prince lives :-)
Didn't know "The Little Prince", so I will have a read of that, so instead....
Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
The b612 mono font already exists and I use it and love it: fonts.google.com/specimen/B612+Mono.
Great great idea the vitamins and meal plans!
Please do yourself a favour and read The Little Prince :-)
whatthegit.com
w3sourcecode.com/
So old school and robust vs new and shiny, you decide! 😉😋🤣
I have one - playd.net
I think the idea, about 15 years ago, was to create a pc games review online magazine. Perhabs you have a better idea for now!? 😀
I have this one for some time now thinking I will come up with something
end.lt
Oh, another great domain!
I mean the possibilities are endless! 😉
ineedhelp.today
I bought it for a hackathon on this website actually, but I haven't really pursued putting the app out there because of the legal headaches around voice recordings, etc.
dev.to/jcs224/twilio-hackathon-con...
I'd be happy to hear your ideas though!
I used to own 'default.berlin' until I noticed that 'default' is a keyword in most languages which was annoying to say the least
Stanlaw.com
btcturks.com
nord-streams.com
Stanlaw.com
BTC Turks
nord-streams
flatearth.wtf
Still taking suggestions.
As you can probably tell, I am a flat Earther and nobody from anywhere around the globe can tell me I am wrong!
brawlingbandits.tech
The one that still looking for it's purpose: iknowmybeer.com
You send a beer sampling kit to peoples homes. The beers are in cans with no labels except for the numbers 1 to 5.
People try the beers while looking at a custom page designed around the beers they got sent.
You have 5 different descriptions on the page and they have to guess which number goes with which description.
If they get it right they get a discount off those particular beers for a month and a badge they can share on social media.
I have many domains, but below are currently looking for something to be parked.
Hi InHu, I have a lot of domains as well and <3 for accessibility. Ideas for omniratio.com?
Check this one about accessibility if you not already been there.
igda-gasig.org
NYC.af
I don't have money, so I can't buy domain or get a vps, if I had a domain I would it for my website: foxy4096.github.io
I won't give ideas then as this is an advert to sell the site, not ideas for a silly side project you could do in your spare time, so it doesn't fit the idea and theme of the article, good luck in the sale though.
También podrías comprar el.dominio letsstalk.dev :v
I own elikob.it
It is the french version of dickopt.er
I never found anything to do with it but the joke made me laugh.
I don't think there is much else we can do with a domain like that 🤣
Hi, I have neatdesign.info :)
Thank you
I have one: tharos.org
Splitflock.com
I just got ecosystem.fail, had some ideas but would love to hear more.
